It wasn't free is the problem. They were selling it on patreon from what I have heard.
In many countries, the question of profit doesn't matter as to whether it violates copyright or not. Who knows where the legal stuff would happen but I looked up Australia's copyright laws as well as I could and it seems similar to US copyright with the fact that it doesn't matter whether someone is profiting from it or not.
Ah, thank you for that context, I didn't see any mention of Patreon in the article.
